If you love honey bees and would like to add them to your decor, then check out this honey bee throw pillow and matching fabric.
The hexagon pattern behind the bee is a dark tan on a pale tan blend.
The honey bee design is printed in front of the honeycomb and is printed on both sides of the throw pillows.
The pillows come in a choice of square and lumbar shapes. The square shapes come in a choice of 16 by 16 inches, and 20 by 20 inches. The lumbar shaped pillow measures 13 by 21 inches. All shapes and sizes come in a choice of Polyester and Grade A Cotton.
They have a hidden zipper enclosure and a synthetic filled insert. This way, the cover can be removed for cleaning.
The fabric can be purchased by the yard, and/or by fat quarters. It can be printed on 10 continuous yards, should you want to make curtains. It is printed with non-toxic inks on your choice of fabric.

Honey Bees Live Organically
I had been reading reports about the honey bee not being as prevalent as it once was. Some people have eluded to the idea that this would also mean the demise of our produce. But I beg to differ. We are a resilient bunch. One thing that I have noticed throughout history, is that when a problem has presented itself, for the most part, people have come up with a way to overcome it.
I'm not saying that anyone shouldn't be concerned, but what I am saying, is that we should be asking ourselves what can we do to improve the situation.
The honey bee's role in the garden:
The honey bee helps our gardens to flourish by pollinating the various blooms. The honey bee flies from flower to flower, and pollen sticks to its fuzzy body, which then gets relocated to another flower, causing the pollination to take place.
Your role as a pollinator:
One thing that people can do, is to foster this process along themselves. On small scale gardens, the end of a Q-tip and or finger tip works fine. When the blooms have started, take a Q-tip or the tip of your finger, and gently touch the open blooms with it, going from one bloom to another. You will have pollinated your flowers. I have used this method myself.
One a larger scale, you could perhaps use a feather duster to cover a larger amount of blooms at one time. Or if you're really ingenious, you could invent a larger scale method that is both economical and eco-friendly for the masses to use.
Our roll in helping the bees:
The other thing that we can do as a people, is to plant organically. Our little insect friends live better organically and our own bodies will also benefit from the more wholesome foods. Also, you can plant flowers throughout your garden to attract and nourish the bees, and also other pollinators like butterflies.
If you would like to spread any organic ideas about helping out the honey bees, I have created this honey bee design on postcards, to help you out with your goal.
If you are or would like to become a bee keeper, you can let people know about your bee keeping with a custom yard sign. A suggestion, if you don't already do this, is to visualize seeing there being enough honey for both the bees and people to enjoy.
Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are welcome.
